It appears that miles mean little - but YEARS mean a LOT! I got a battery that meets the specs at O'Reilly's for $89 a year ago. It's a LITTLE shorter than the original, I have a piece of heater hose in there as a shim to keep it from moving around.
Mine is a SuperStart 48-72 or 48AGM.
A bad battery can leave you stranded, and the weird thing is, when you turn the key to "start", the engine will turn over and start, then die right away. Does not SEEM like that would be the battery - but it can be! I saw it happen.
Go get a battery!
